Chapter 108 Every inch of gold is precious (Second update)
Zhou Gu naturally hasn't mentioned this matter to Su Rong.
Because before leaving Jiangning County, Zhou Gu had not made up his mind. Originally, if he did not want to marry Su Rong, he would naturally not be entangled. However, because he no longer resisted marrying Su Rong, and was even somewhat willing to do so, he kept entangled and did not mention it.
On the day Su Rong sent him out of the city, he said there was no rush, but he felt a little annoyed, so he just rode away.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the old Protector became angry and said, "What? Didn't you mention it?"
Zhou Gu shook his head, "No."
The old protector of the country said: "How old are you? Do you still want me to teach you how to get along with a little girl? I tell you, the most taboo thing when getting along with a little girl's family is to hold back what is in your heart. If you don't tell others,
How do you know? If you still think you don't care about her, over time, she will become cold towards you."
Zhou Gu raised his eyes and looked at the old Protector.
The old Protector snorted, "If you want to marry someone else, you have to be careful. You have to travel for two years. The two years are long or short. Don't be careless and don't marry your daughter in advance.
I have taken hold of her and asked her to wait wholeheartedly for your words. I will try to catch you when you come back, but it will be too late."
If it had been before, Zhou Gu would have been impatient to listen to the old Protector's lectures to him, but now he sat firmly and listened attentively without any rebuttal.
When the old Protector saw him with his ears pricked up and his face taught, he smiled to himself, thinking that before the little brat left, he kept saying that he would not marry, but after only a month, he looked like he was interested when he came back, which shows that Jiangning County
That little girl is very powerful. In a short period of time, she captured the heart of this bastard.
The old protector of the country thought this was a good thing. After all, when Zhou Gu looked resistant and impatient and refused to marry him, to be honest, he had a headache. He had countless tough ways to make him agree to marry her, but after all, it was
The strong-willed melon is not sweet, and he is afraid that he will become a resentful couple and ruin the two children, so he will feel bad looking at it, right?
Now that he looked like this, he was happy to see him, so he waved to him and said, "Go and ask your grandmother and mother for advice. They are women and will understand the thoughts of their daughter's family better."
Zhou Gu stood up after hearing this and left neatly.
The old protector: "..."
He looked at Zhou Gu's unrepentant figure and laughed and cursed, "You brat, you thought you were so capable, but it turns out you are just a little loser."
Zhou Gu naturally didn't hear the old protector scolding him behind him. He left the old protector's study and went to see the eldest princess Sheng'an.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an has been thinking about it for a long time. She counts the days and murmurs a few words every day, worrying about whether he eats well, sleeps well and gets along well with the little girl from the Su family when he is away from home.
The Duke's wife doesn't think much of Zhou Gu. Now that the world is at peace, Zhou Gu has martial arts skills and brings a group of elite guards to protect the Duke's mansion. Even if he encounters bandits, he doesn't know who will deal with whom. She
There is nothing to worry about. So, in my spare time, I just advised Princess Sheng'an to relax and not think about him.
Today, when she heard that Zhou Gu had returned home, Princess Sheng'an smiled and seemed to be full of energy. She quickly sent people to the kitchen to give orders to cook Zhou Gu's favorite dishes.
Zhou Gu came to the yard of the eldest princess of Sheng'an, entered the house, and saw that his mother and aunt's two sisters-in-law were there. He first paid greetings to the eldest princess, and then to his mother, aunt, and sister-in-law in turn.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an waited patiently for him to greet everyone, and then waved eagerly, "Come to grandma, let grandma take a good look. Why do you feel that my good grandson is more handsome than before when you come back from a trip?"
some."
Zhou Gu obediently walked over and sat down next to the eldest princess Sheng'an. He specially turned his face to the eldest princess Sheng'an and said, "Grandma, take a closer look. Am I really more handsome than before?"
Princess Sheng'an really looked at him carefully and nodded seriously, "Yes, he is just more handsome."
Zhou Gu smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that the soil and water of Jiangnan support people?"
"More than that, you are dressed up like this..." The eldest princess slapped her forehead, "Let me just say, my grandson is still my grandson. Why, in just one month, they look and feel so different. It turns out they are
Your clothes are too bright."
When Zhou Gu entered the house, the Duke's wife saw at a glance that his son was wearing something different from before. The two colors she had specially suppressed for him were now not only exposed, but also seemed to be a little brighter. She couldn't help but
He commented politely, "It's all very fancy."
Zhou Gu looked innocent, "It's not my fault, it's Xiao Qi who insisted on giving me such clothes."
"Xiao Qi?" Princess Sheng'an was confused.
The Duke's wife and everyone also looked at Zhou Gu.
"Oh? Did she give you clothes? Return a batch?" Princess Sheng'an keenly grasped two important points.
Zhou Gu coughed and nodded in spite of everyone's attention, "Well, Jinxiu Pavilion, the most famous in Jiangning County, chose the fabric herself. She originally planned to make ten sets of clothes for me, but she didn't expect that when she chose the cloth, she chose
She bought twenty pieces of the latest fabrics, the best quality, and the best patterns. She couldn't part with each piece. After making ten sets of ready-made clothes for me, she bought the other ten pieces of cloth for me, saying that I would buy them again in late autumn.
Make clothes and wear them until next spring."
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on the material and pattern of the clothes he was wearing, and when they saw it, they all took a breath.
The clothes Zhou Gu is wearing today are made of the same material as the lake blue brocade that Su Rong and Ji Zhi wore that day. Such material is Yun brocade, which is known as every inch of brocade. Even in the capital, it is rare.
The finest materials are rare. Especially the weaving skills are not inferior to the materials specially provided by the Imperial Clothing Bureau in the palace. Moreover, the embroiderer's skills are obviously first-class, with gold thread trimming and fine stitches.
It looks like it was embroidered by an extremely skillful embroiderer, and the color is crimson, which is rare in Yun brocade. And because Zhou Gu is tall and thin, wearing it on him makes him even more beautiful.
Somewhat colorful.
Princess Sheng'an didn't speak for a while.
Everyone sitting here was not ignorant, and they were all silent.
The Duke's wife looked at her son and asked, "Do you know how much money this dress you are wearing cost?"
Zhou Gu shook his head, "I don't know, it's very expensive anyway."
On that day, the shopkeeper said that the new batch of ingredients were all top-quality ingredients, and put them out for Su Rong to choose. Su Rong was very satisfied with it, and picked him one by one for almost an hour. If it wasn't to make Xie Lin jealous, he would have
He didn't have the patience. He looked almost the same, but Su Rong picked it carefully and energetically, so he could only endure it. He didn't know how many clothes he had made of the same material.
, he seems to have three pieces of ready-made clothes at the moment. On the day she got hairpins, he wore a lake blue one, today he wore this crimson one, and there is also a moon white one. He hasn't worn it yet because he is afraid of getting dirty.
"This is more than expensive." The Duke's wife was almost irritable, "I'm afraid this one will cost thousands of gold."
Zhou Gu was shocked, "Is this so expensive?"
He knew it was expensive, but he didn't know exactly how expensive it was.
The Duke's wife looked at his stupid look and pointed at him, "Are you short-sighted? Why are you so ignorant? Even if you don't understand how expensive firewood and rice are, why don't you understand ordinary clothes? This thing you are wearing
The clothes are made of two feet and two inches of cloth. This is Yunjin, which is made of gold. A piece of cloth that is about the size of a fingernail costs a piece of gold. Calculate for yourself whether this piece of clothing is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
?Equivalent to tens of thousands of taels of silver per piece."
Zhou Gu opened his eyes wide, "Is this so expensive?"
So he only has the same three pieces, which is already thirty thousand taels? How about so many other clothes and fabrics?
The Duke's wife looked at his silly son and felt that it was necessary to give him some popular science knowledge. It was because she had been too generous with his life in these years, and he was not a pretty person, so he
She didn't understand or care about these at all, so she could accept such expensive clothes with peace of mind. And what made her dizzy the most was that there was more than one piece, a total of ten sets of ready-made clothes and ten pieces of cloth.
She asked: "Are all your other clothes like this?"
"Not all, but they are almost the same." Zhou Gu was not sure, because he was dizzy when he saw them. They were all chosen by Su Rong, and he knew they were expensive.
After hearing this, the Duke's wife took a breath and said calmly: "Do you know how rare clothes like yours are? There is only one batch of such good materials that the royal family pays tribute to every year, which is just a few pieces of cloth.
, Only ladies of high rank in the palace can get half a piece of cloth, enough to make a piece of clothing. If it is not a major palace banquet, they would not be willing to wear it."
Zhou Gu was even more shocked, "Is this so rare?"
He thought that there should be a lot of imperial offerings. After all, they could all be leaked and sold to Jinxiu Pavilion.
